Zooomr Update 3
For those of you that haven’t been following, here’s the score:
- jUploadr has been updated to deal with Zooomr mark III’s latest path updates. It is all updated on sourceforge, the release is complete and all that remains is a blog post and a switch flip.
- However, even though jUploadr is complete, I can’t release this version because it won’t work. Kris hasn’t enabled jUploadr’s API key.
Here’s why:
I just finished chatting with Kris Tate on IM, and he tells me that indeed jUploadr’s API key has not been re-enabled due to their rapidly shrinking disk space, which is what I expected. Re-enabling jUploadr would make it very easy for everyone to upload many photos at once, and then Zooomr would grind to a halt.
Sun has promised Zooomr some hardware to remedy this problem, but they have been taking forever on this. I’m sorry that I don’t even have an ETA to give you of when jUploadr will be up and running with Zooomr, but this is the latest information that I have.

Why? What’s he doing now? If things are not ready ,he should have postponed the release of Zooomr III.

Thanks for posting a update, may not be want we want to hear. But it’s nice to hear something about this from someone.
You’ve done your part (re: juploadr), now just sit back and relax.

Many thanks for the update. As soon as it’s ok to start juploading again, I’ll be doing cartwheels!

Any idea of an eta yet?
Thanks for the great uploader,

I’m not too bothered about batch uploading to Zooomr for the moment.
At the moment, you can only upload to Zooomr through the website.
This is good for me, because it means I only upload my best photos because it’s too much of a manual process to batch upload through the website.

Yeah, batch uploading through www.zooomr.com/photos/upload can give some errors, but i’m uploading tons of terrible pics from my Treo 680, so It’s cool if some disappear as long as they were the ones that weren’t that special. Wait, what am I saying. So is Sun just giving this hardware, like Zoho helped out/still helps out? or are these guys getting stock. I’m just love Zooomr b/c I filled up my 200 photos at Flickr a long while back. Kris rocks hard. I know you have been waiting since July, but I only d/l’d juploadr again today. So I still feel patient and optimistic.

Thanks for jUploadr, your efforts are much appreciated.
